Chapter 7
Karl brought the truck to an abrupt halt, tossing a pair of smoke grenades out of his window, giving us a few seconds to regroup and plan to meet the charge.
Tingles of mana use shimmered over my body as Karl hopped into the truck bed beside me.
"That’s a regenerating mana shield I cast on you. It’s a bit slow to come back, so try not to take too many direct hits. I’ll enchant your outfit later, but the process takes a few days, there just wasn’t time." He explained.
Well, that certainly eases my mind.
More tingles lit up my nerves and I had to stifle a moan.
"Strength and speed buffs, for lack of a better description" Karl smiled. Oh Moon Goddess, he didn’t notice that moan did he? That would be so embarrassing.
"You flank right and finish that heavy infantry. I’m good with area of attack, so I’ll start with the gate guards, circle behind them when you’re finished and meet me in the middle." Karl nodded in satisfaction with his plan, before hopping out of the truck, shotgun mounted with a drum magazine in one hand and what appeared to be a purple light saber in the other. What sort of combat technique is that? Hillbilly Jedi?
Moving into the smoke to meet my designated targets I was almost happy for my enhanced senses. Visibility was almost nothing in this smoke, but the stench of charred orc was overwhelming, making me a bit nauseous.
